A doctoral thesis at the University of Basrah examines the drug sulfa and its effects on cypermethrin.

The College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Basrah has conducted a doctoral thesis that addressed the toxic effects of cypermethrin on some vital organs in male domestic pigeons, and the effectiveness of a new sulfa derivative in mitigating these effects.

The thesis, presented by researcher Ansam Saleh Abdul Qader, aimed to study the histological, histochemical, and morphological changes resulting from poisoning, prepare a new sulfa derivative, and evaluate its therapeutic role.

The results showed that cypermethrin caused significant tissue damage to the liver, brain, stomach, kidneys, pancreas, and testes, while the new derivative contributed to improving tissue structure and reducing oxidative damage, making it a promising treatment for pesticide poisoning.
